yeah this is a “delayed steal” or thats what I called it growing up. They are probably going to call it something different in 10 years😂. Same premise just take a shuffle and if you time it right go. only for righties.

I wish more guys in HS stole aggressively. To get thrown out, it takes 1) a pitch the catcher can handle 2) the catcher handles it 3) decent transfer to throwing hand 4) decent throw 5) the SS/2B properly covering 6) the throw being handled 7) the tag being applied 8) the tag beating runner

We have a very good catcher on my HS team and he legit prays before each game that someone steals. Not many do 😅😂

My high school coaches have been teaching us this I'm glad to see other people teaching it

Yeah. This worked super well for the Yankees this year, their record should reflect such.

Brilliant content! Wish you were around when I was a kid learning the game. Great stuff for the new gens. Keep up the amazing work coach RAC

Thank you so much!!!🙏🏻

Please define a few years because I was doing this over 20yrs ago. I think it's only had the silly name for a few years but this way is easily the most effective for average speed baserunners.

Exactly, 30 years ago here. New term doesn't make it new.

It's weird that you give a special name to whats just standard base running/stealing mechanics we have been doing for decades.

Our 3rd base coach on my college team loves this and it’s literally so easy and free when you learn it.

Best baseball KZreadr ever ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Instructions unclear, I now ride in the car instead of the bench.

My high school coach taught us this 10 years ago. We made it to state because we were so good at manufacturing runs. We weren’t the most skilled but man did we work other teams. We even did double suicide squeezes where there’s a runner on 2nd and 3rd and the runner on 2nd would steal 3rd and then it was a squeeze with essentially two runners running crossing home back to back. It was wildly successful

Bro his phone fell out of his pocket at the end 😂

I understand literally zero of what you said, but it seems great!

This is great. You’re already in motion which cuts out the biggest chuck of time when stealing. That and instead of running from a dig you’re already moving. I’m a youth coach and did this instinctively but struggled to teach it to kids that didn’t instinctively do it. Thank you.

Best baseball KZreadr on the KZread platform ❤

I don’t play baseball anymore, but this would’ve helped a lot back then

the games within the game.. awesome... I learned couple other ways including this "vault" steal, to swipe a bag in early 2000s.. ball is fun when you actually dig into all the things you can do.

I learned a trick from Dee gordon, where you would take suge a big lead you’d be halfway between bases. the pitcher can throw to first and i’d be at second before the ball gets around. it if he threw at second you can safely get back to first before the ball gets back. my coaches hated this and loved it at the same time.

I learned this almost 15 years ago.. i thought it was common knowledge 😮

Patrick Bailey does this sometimes. He’s a catcher and not extremely fast so pitchers tend to forget about him when he’s on first

Nice thanks coach rac 😀

Actually used this last weekend, thanks CoachRac🤙

I loved stealing bases back in high school ball. The satisfaction of hitting a single and being on 3rd within the next 2 pitches was out of this world lol

I don’t play baseball, always wished i did. But i do love the content

I’m 26, this idea has been around for a lot longer than “a couple years” lol

bro coach rac is the best thank you for all the coaching 🔥🔥

It's like an anime "whoa it's the vault steal technique!"

The older I get the more I rely on this

You got me into bolts they feel wayyy better not gunna lie they feel good thanks coach

Did this through all of juco and it single handedly got my only d1 offer

I picked this up and it has helped even tho I’m fast I’m 11 playing 90ft bases instead of 70ft

Coach rack it’s probably meant to be for you to be a coach because you’re really good at it. You’re high schoolers must be real Happy to have you as a cool coach. Wish you made the big leagues but I feel it was meant to be.

We did this a couple years ago for the first time. No one was thrown on out using it. Last year we didn't use quite as much and one got thrown out, but he went a little early and pitcher stepped off. It's worth using.

Volpe taught me this last year

What I was taught is as soon as you see light under the pitchers foot you go

Yes that's what most coaches I've worked with will say. And me being a pitcher I knew to never get in a rhythm of coming set then Making my delivery. Always change your timing each pitch

Thanks coach rac

Anthony Volpe makes a living off of this style in New York.

My highschool summer ball team consisted of 3 college players, one retired and two current, funny enough the very first practice after the tryouts we learned about the vault steal pretty much right away.

Swear it's been around since 1990. They just term everything an call it new. It's called a shuffle steal an. Ricky Henderson used it

This will help a lot for my JV baseball team I’m bout to have 15 stolen bases this season

Thanks rac for all ur great tips that I use in game

I love this guy

This is how I as an average speed taller dude was able to steal bases. This along with not being afraid to get dirty.

Nice glove aria sick

Been around for a long time bro

I’m definitely saying Rac taught me this weekend

Coach rac is the goat 🐐

This has only been around a few years... yeah the turn of the 20th century

“Few years” hahaha

Been doing this for years with Domingo Ayala!!!!😂

I have the steal record for my school that I set in 2009 at 31 in a regular season. I used this on occasion. You have to mix it up. If I was that sure of a pitcher, I was gone anyway. No need to shuffle.

lol we learned this at my hs like a month and a half ago 😂, we use the UCLA timing

The beat: "Sausalito turkey honey ham and salami"

I miss the days when I could go halfway to second and just outrun the pick

Awareness is key just cause your on base dosent mean we stop trying to pickup on the pitcher and his tendencies had a lot of great coaches that would allow me to do this especially when a pitcher was showing bad body language I stole home like this once and actually almost got hit by the pitch sliding in 😂😂😂

Ill try this week at My tournament

Anthony Volpe steals bases this way

i used to do this all the time but you gotta have your timing down and at least a lil fast or you're gonna get picked

So funny, I used to do this when I played and never know there was a specific name for it! I am slow, so any help I could get I took it! lol.

My man just explained delayed steals....

Can you make a little league version pls 😅 cause when the ball passes the plate we can have are leads ( sorry if you have made one already)

You will get picked off if you try getting back to first on the pitchers move. Just continue the momentum to second.

Works every time in the show

Anthony Volpe does this all the time

Man as a catcher, I’ve been doing this for a long time😭

Is this not just a secondary lead lmfao i don’t see what’s so revolutionary here 😂

Bro, I gotta get on base first 😭

acuña better be watching he woulda stolen a lot more bases he doesn’t even do this yet

U C L A is a good way to time rythem

My coach shows me how to steal or go back to base

Idk why but this guy is giving me like aggressively nice church bro vibes

I saw Trea do this in the NLDS and I thought he got a bad jump and still made it with his speed, never knew it was a technique

Lol that's why every half decent pitcher has different timings when runners are on! You got your quick pitch your regular timing your high leg kick your no leg kick and the dreaded just stand there and wait for the runner to panic.

@cartershutler44

Yup my favorite was getting a runner who would try this shit on the second pitch and I didn't do a leg kick and they would be caught dead. 😂

Was doing this in middle school when I got walked. Kinda thought it was a no brainer since I got the base for free worked a couple times.

So basically stealing in softball but you don't get called out for moving early which is pretty sweet

You can do this in middle school baseball. The only place you can't do this is little league

I use to use this when I was on second. Would time the pitchers look back and when he would look back towards home I was off

The Anthony Volpe method

I tried this in game today they tried to pick me off but they couldn’t get the throw to beat me to second one of the best tips I’ve learned thanks rac

I always just steal the base when they pick off because I’m fast and they don’t expect it

I see you have a new glove can we see your updated glove collection?

Immediately recognize this field. Conditioning coach claimed many victims running up the embankment in the background 😂

I'm 6'3, 260lb. When I was playing baseball I was around 6'1, 6'2 and between 210 and 250 (as a teenager and adult, when you're actually allowed to steal where I'm from), so not fast. This rhythm trick is how I used to steal second, sometimes even third. I played mostly lower-level stuff though, so I'd take 2-3 long-legged hops since I had the time. I only had to be careful if the catcher had a cannon.

That glove is beautiful

My coach teaches this with me as you tabs 1 step off and than you time up the pitcher like u c l a and while you are doing Taft you are shuffling very far away that is since you are so close to the bag the pitcher won’t pick off.

“Only been around a few years” lol

I used to do this when I was 13

I was doing that 30 years ago.

NOT THE PHONE 😆💀

This has always been a thing. Some people call it U-C-L-A

Bro I’ve been doing this since 5th grade lol leading in stolen bases since 2012 so I mean it works.

Laughs in Pudge Rodriguez

I just run right as he lifts his leg up, I steal every time

Been doing this since 2016

He didn’t mention it but if they decide not to go on that in this case 3rd second and they hold longer you should shuffle back to your normal lead and not stay out. Also don’t vault every pitch. If it doesn’t work the first time wait a few pitches

Highschool coaches this, we call it “new school”

I have a game Friday so i might try this
